A few policenauts questions.

Post by maddogpwa »

Im sure that these questions are probably well known to everyone but me so sorry to bore people.

Ive never played policenauts at all i cant read a word of japanese. I own a mega cd and came across snatcher by accident totally loved the game. The only real let down with snatcher for me was the control. I played the game with a light gun and i dont know if it was just my light gun or the game but it is totaly un playable with a light gun its that in accurate. Still enjoyed the game with the d pad but its not really the same as with a light gun.

My questions are this
Ive read somewhere on this site that the ps1 translation job is nearing :)
Sooooo what sort of time frame are we looking at for a sega saturn version or a 3do version?

how does policenauts compare with snatcher. (i found snatcher to be something i couldnt put down and played non stop for 3 days)

When this translation patch comes out how do i pay for it how much do i pay for it.

Good luck to everyone working on the project a noble cause :)

Don't expect a 3DO or Saturn translation anytime soon.

Patch is Free

Policenauts (even in Japanese) is just as awesome as Snatcher, if not more so.

Patch is not for sale - we don't profit at all from it. We're just fans. (It's free.)

If you like Snatcher, you will like Policenauts. As to which one you'll like better, that's pretty subjective since their biggest strengths are their stories, and they're pretty different as far as that goes.

But a Snatcher fan like me was not disappointed.

Is there a preferred version of Policenauts?

The Saturn version is considered the Director's Cut... This version was the one originally planned to be the subject of the patch, but as you may know, you have to be a genius to work with that thing, so they switched to the PS1 version. You're not missing anything vital between versions... Anything added is more for hardcores, which they are, but it's nothing a youtube vid can't cure.
